Tho fact thnt the Kingdom of God is not an ordivary kingdom, but a peculiar ono, suggosts the importance of inquiring into this poouliar empire smong om- pires. Tot us first rooall tho idea of a kingdom aud 800 ‘what arotho facts containod iu thnt word. Itincludes tho two notions,~that of pow- or vosted ih & superior mortal, and that of the land, largo or emall, over which thia power ox- ‘tends. Tho Kingdom of Oyrus In its moral form includod o sway ovor the proporty and gorvice of men, many. millions strong, and in ita matorial- form extondoed from the Indies totho ZEgean. ‘Thus, tho momeut yon pronounca tho word : kingdom, thore comoa bofore your niind & large throng '~ of - poople, porhaps enslnved like the subjocts of Xorxes or Bolomou; perhaps bleat with more liberty, like the citizens of England; sndthen comes tho other iden of o domain thnt ronches.out in ench diroction a thousand or half-thousand miles. An old King defined his omptro as roaching notth to “svhoro nono could dwell on acconut of the cold, and south to where, on account of the hest, none could find homos : snd an existing empiro bonsta of n domnin on which tho sun nover seta. These romarka will call to us two idons earried nlong by the word langdom,—thoe idon of moral “power swayod by somobody, and of o wide land where this power rests for the joy or griof of the cltizons, When the great lendor of mon, Christ, camo, it was expected by Ilis dieclplea that Ilo would at once set up n two-fald kingdom, one vor tho sowla snd badios of mon, ang roncing {from sca to men, and from the Tivors to tho end of tho omth, Tho disciples had. road, literally, tho promiscs rogarding o Cluist, and a8 thoro nro those who mnow expoct tha Jows to roturn to Jorusalom, and the third part of tho stars to fall from ldaven, g0 _ thoro wero thoso once who thought Christ hod oomo to displace the Cmsars, and group the Btatos of ouch into ome Btate, and molt all crowns Into .one, Into tho midst of such thoughts, into the midat of such glowing hopos, kindfed in the long Injustico of tho past con: turios, the now guido " from the skios wag com- polled by truth to throw the unoquivacal words - that His kingdom was not of this world. If the ronson and heart were pormittod to oxpross ila regrots in-matlors o far boyond its monsuro- mont, it might almoat woop that such a beiog ag Olirist gould not then and thore havoe bocome of such n Stato as imagination, tanght in tho Jong schiool of bondago, had pictured for Lim—n Btato ruled in poaco and wisdom, aud cooxtonsive with the world. DBut such & rosult would havo beon to sot eside by miracle tho long carcer of man, the, long experiment, the loug self-oducation of tho human raco, Abandoningall refloctionsas towhat might ave beon, wo roturn to tho simple fact that thoro is s LK Klu?flum of God not of thia world.” - It is not a# visiblo indood as tho governmont which movos to and fro on enrih, clunking chnins nll ovor Europo, and rovenls not such dofinite limits as thoso which_soparate Eugland from Franco, or which cut off Amorica from the groat family of nations; but, howover obscure in its action and bonndarios, the Kingdom of God corlainly en- velopes ug, and olfers its shoros to our feot, aud its atmoaphere to onr daily life. T'rom the fact.that-God is designor and then Croator of tho world, and the wholo alpha and omega of its great assomblaga of lifo aud intel- ligenco, wo must that Ile is King aleo of all wo -8eo or hoar, or may droam of in our thought. ‘From Croator Io at'onco pasacs to tho titlo of Iang. If you will rofloct for o moment you wilt confoss thit tho disderus of all the groat mon- “archis who have exigted upon earth, all the pomp and power betwoon Solowon and.Louis kw., ‘havo been only weaknous, only orowns of dirt, compnrod with tho imperlal sway of the gronb Kmng of mufs.
